K-12G Amp

[Mancave62]

So I built this little amp a few years ago as my first tube project. Decided to pull it out and do some comparisons, WOW, can it really be that good? I'm driving an Akitika PR-102 pre-amp through MarkAudio 10P Pensils, think I'll buy up some 10g8V tubes for the future?

An old post, but very appropriate.....I just built a K-12G today...LOVE IT! and I have a pair of Alpair 10 Gen 2 speakers and will be building Pensils this week.....Small world!

I built a K12M maybe 15 years ago. I used a number of mods on the internet. Put the board in an aluminum chassis and built a separate power supply chassis with regulated heater supply. The mods included ultralinear output trannys and capacitor changes. All of the info is on the net. Take a look at the DIY Audio Projects site. Scroll down to the bottom of the Tube Amp Projects. This project was a K12M but many of the mods should apply. Regards, HeyBill

I should add that a member on this forum, Bruce Heran, helped me quite a bit with the mods. He goes by gofar99, I believe. He also started ODDWatt Audio.
